1889 Enoteca, 12 Logan Road, WOOLLONGABBA QLD 4102

We
walked past 1889 Enoteca last time when we had breakfast at the Pearl Cafe. At a recent birthday party of a dear friend, the topic 1889
Enoteca came up and we all thought that it would be a marvellous idea
to get together and dine at the restaurant.

Our friend booked a table and used his connection to ensure that
there would be enough tiramisu for the four of us at the end of the
night.

Filled
with endless bottles of wine, this Italian restaurant felt so cosy
and welcoming. We greeted to each other with excitements and great
anticipation of what the restaurant had to offer, we inevitably
wasted no time in deciding what to have for entree. The other travel
bunnie and I had red claw yabby, tomato, eggplant & caper salsa
($24) and “the Devil's quail” pepper crusted quail, chicory,
tomato ($24) and our friends enjoyed prosciutto, rockmelon, 10yr
balsamic ($21) and the vegetable antipasti ($29). I absolutely loved
the Devil's quail, the spice crusted meat was succulent and tasted
amazing.

Interestingly,
both the boys ended up having their famous potato gnocchi, pork &
fennel sausage, black truffle tapenade ($36) and us girls decided on
tagliatelle, prawns, garlic, chilli ($26/$38). We simply could not
fault our meals.

Oh
and of course, the desserts! I do honestly believe that I have a
separate stomach for desserts. Tiramisu ($15) was a must, but we also
had vanilla pannacotta ($15) and chocolate & semolina pudding,
stracciatella ice cream ($15). Please don't ask me which one was my
favourite, I couldn't pick one, I just wanted to shove all of them in
my mouth and lick the plates clean.
